Hillary Clinton to hit speaking circuit

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will start giving paid speeches later this year, POLITICO’s Playbook reported exclusively Monday.

Clinton, who has picked the Harry Walker Agency to represent her, is likely to start the paid speaking circuit in the spring and is expected to rake in fees that clock in at the six-figure range — making her among the best-paid speakers “in the history of the circuit,” POLITICO’s Mike Allen reported.

The possible 2016 presidential contender may do some speeches for free, depending on the cause, and will sometimes donate some of that money for charitable purposes. She is also exploring book options and will be involved in nonprofit work, Playbook said.

President Barack Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, has also joined up with the Harry Walker Agency, Playbook said.
